Daniel is a 77-year-old puppeteer with a strong connection to his puppet, a frog-pianist named Ferdy. They are life-long companions and Daniel believes he lends his spirit, his life-force, to Ferdy. Through them, we explore the nature of the spirit and the innately human practice of puppeteering. We are left asking: what makes us consider something alive?


Currently on its festival run.
